The first thing that Plato did is to distinguish each segment into subject matters. Plato also considered comparing physical things known by human senses against the ones known to the intellect. After which, he subdivided these ...

The notion that each of Shakespeare’s tragic heroes must have single easy-to-define tragic flaw can be traced to the writing of A C Bradley (Gibson 2002 p 87) and there has been general critical agreement that Hamlet’s ‘flaw’ is hesitation and that he delays taking revenge on Claudius because he vacillates and is uncertain. It is true as well that in the play itself hamlet criticizes himself or this very trait. Hamlet in Act 4, scene 4 watches Fortinbras’s army cross the stage on their way to fight over Norwegian possession of a disputed piece of land in ...

Milton Friedman believes that in a free society we must not forget that there are two types of freedom and they should not be confused. The proper role of the government is to consider these two ways of understanding freedom - which are freedom from coercion and freedom of ‘free of cost’- and help individuals reach their objectives, interfering with each other as minimum as possible. The government should create opportunities to help people achieve their goals, knowing of course that there is no absolute freedom in society. It is important to notice that for Friedman, the society ...

Q.1. The most important argument for a stable schedule is that Lean is not very capable of dealing with a situation where sudden changes in production levels occur, since this affects the other entities in the system. For instance, given a stable process, a sudden change would either lead to stoppage in some part of the assembly, or another such problem. This would lead to a stoppage of work throughout the line. Since the lean system works on a ‘just in time’ concept, suppliers would also be affected since inventory gets shipped from the supplier’s side only when required. Thus, a stable schedule becomes paramount ...

Classic English Literature

In drawing comparison between Shakespeare’s Sonnets 130 and 148, it is quite clear that Shakespeare uses the topic of vision (descriptions), and emotion (expressions) to highlight his feelings for his mistress. He has, by using themes such as love, beauty, emotion, and uncertainty, been able to draw the subconscious mind of his readers to relive what he himself must have experienced. Using contradictory and contrasting unconventional styles, Shakespeare was able to set off a precedence of intuitive thinking in his readers’ minds. When juxtaposed with each other, it looks like Sonnet 130 is the predecessor to Sonnet 148, for ...

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence with of aim of establishing the revolution that the colonists were planning and enforcing on America.

In an average week, I spend far more time consuming media labeled as popular culture than I do things considered high art—and I am not alone in this. Recent reports show that the average American watches more than five hours of television a day, in addition to time spent consuming other media through the internet or radio (Hinckley). Those who bemoan these types of statistics as a sign of society’s downward spiral fail to consider the possibility that the narratives taking place on the small screen of today are just as artistic as those that took place ...

In all quintessential love songs, three tenets (common qualities) have stood out; simple lyrics delivered with sincerity, use of a saxophone and they are sung in moderately slow tempos.

I will begin by presenting Aristotle’s virtue about generosity, a virtue that talks about how people should spend their money, and I will continue by researching how this issue reflects into contemporary virtue of generosity. I will argue that Aristotle’s ethics are the starting point regarding a good life for a human being, the middle point between deficiency and excess, both being vices. Furthermore, I contend that, even if Aristotle’s virtues were right, we ...
